    Seminole County's charging projects are electrical projects first. Most of the condominium and garden-apartment stock in Casselberry, Winter Springs, and older Oviedo was built between the late 1970s and the early 2000s, with service sized for the appliance loads of that era. The question is never whether residents want charging. It is how many ports the existing panel will carry.

    Florida Chargers is a veteran-owned, Tesla Certified commercial EV charging reseller and installer based in Winter Garden, and it works across Seminole County under FL Certified Electrical Contractor license EC13009718. Florida Chargers designs, installs, manages, and maintains the system, including the metering and billing side that associations do not want to run themselves.

    The underlying demand is measurable. Florida has 450,400 registered EVs, second only to California's 1,843,100, out of 5,689,100 nationwide, per U.S. Department of Energy Alternative Fuels Data Center 2025 data.

    What Florida Chargers installs in Seminole County

    The hardware is the Tesla Universal Wall Connector: a Level 2 unit rated at 48 amps and 11.5 kW, with a NACS connector and a built-in J1772 adapter. It plugs straight into a Tesla and charges every other major EV brand through the adapter that is already attached, so a property is not choosing a charger that serves one brand of car. Load sharing spreads available circuit capacity across multiple ports, which is what keeps a project from turning into a service upgrade.

    Florida Chargers designs, installs, manages, and maintains the system, and the chargers list on the Tesla app so nearby drivers are routed to the property.

    On an older Seminole County panel, load sharing is the difference between a viable project and a service upgrade. Four Tesla Universal Wall Connectors sharing a circuit draw far less than four units at full 48-amp output, which is what makes a first phase possible on 1980s service.

    A common starting point for multifamily is roughly one Level 2 port per 20 to 30 units, then adding ports as usage data comes in.

    Who this is for in Seminole County

    Established condominium associations. Casselberry and Winter Springs hold a deep supply of two- and three-story condominium buildings from the 1970s and 1980s, many with assigned surface parking and a single electrical room per building group. These associations are the ones that get a 718.113(8) letter from an owner and have to respond. Fla. Stat. 718.113(8) says a board may not unreasonably deny a unit owner's written request to install a charger in the owner's designated parking space. Fla. Stat. 718.113(9) says a board installation on the common elements is not a material alteration, so it generally does not require a full membership vote. Chapter 718 governs condominiums and Chapter 720 governs HOAs, so neither reaches an HOA community or a rental property. Many declarations contain their own material-alteration provisions, so confirm with association counsel.

    Garden-style apartments. The rental communities along 17-92, Red Bug Lake Road, and Tuskawilla compete directly with newer product in Lake Mary and Altamonte for the same renters. Charging is one of the few amenities an older community can add without a clubhouse renovation. In a 2024 SWTCH Energy survey of 1,567 multifamily residents, 62% said they plan to own or drive an EV within five years when charging is available at their property, against 25% when it is not, and 31% of non-EV owners cited the lack of building charging as a barrier. For a rental property, note that 718.113 does not apply at all — the owner decides, with no statute and no board vote involved.

    Oviedo and the UCF-adjacent corridor. Oviedo's newer subdivisions and the research and office space near the university have both the household income and the vehicle mix that produce steady weekday charging. Office and mixed-use sites in this corridor typically have the most electrical headroom in the county, since commercial panels were sized for loads that never fully arrived.

    Your utility and what it pays for

    Oviedo, Winter Springs, and Casselberry properties are served by Duke Energy Florida.

    The Duke Energy Florida Commercial Charger Prep Credit is active. It covers wiring, panel, and conduit work, and it explicitly excludes hardware and permits. For a Seminole County association where the electrical scope is the largest line item, that is the credit that matters most, which is also why any published dollar figure should be confirmed with Duke at proposal time rather than assumed.

    Florida SB 1084 (2024) preempted EV-charger regulation to the state of Florida. No city or county in Florida can impose its own EV charging mandate, and there are no municipal rebate programs. That is a good thing for a board or an owner: a property installs charging because the amenity economics work, not because a local ordinance forced the decision.

    Permitting and timeline

    Electrical permits are issued by the City of Oviedo, the City of Winter Springs, or the City of Casselberry depending on the address, and by Seminole County for unincorporated properties. Several older condominium sites straddle municipal boundaries, so the jurisdiction is confirmed during design.

    A typical project runs 6 to 12 weeks from signed agreement to energized chargers. That window covers design, permitting, utility coordination, installation, and commissioning. Florida Chargers pulls the electrical permit under FL Certified Electrical Contractor license EC13009718.

    What it costs

    Installed cost runs $5,000 to $8,000 per port before incentives. The spread comes from trenching distance to the panel, available panel capacity, wall-mounted versus pedestal placement, port count, and whether the path is concrete or landscaping.

    Seminole County's older sites usually sit in the upper half of that range. Mature landscaping, long runs from a central electrical room to assigned parking, and occasional conduit replacement are what drive it. Splitting the work across two phases keeps the first capital request smaller.

    Under the Share the revenue program, Florida Chargers co-invests and owns and operates the chargers. The property pays little to nothing upfront and earns a recurring share of the charging revenue. Financing is also available for qualified properties to lease the electrical infrastructure and installation with no money down. Exact economics are confirmed during the free site assessment.

    Seminole County EV charging questions

    Often yes, for a first phase. Load sharing means several Tesla Universal Wall Connectors draw well under the sum of their individual 48-amp ratings, so existing capacity usually carries a small number of ports. Florida Chargers reads the panel schedule and the meter history during the assessment and states plainly what the service will support before anything is designed.

    Fla. Stat. 718.113(8) says the board may not unreasonably deny a unit owner's written request to install a charger in that owner's designated parking space, which means the board needs a documented, reasonable process rather than a yes or no reaction. Many boards use the request as the moment to consider a common-element installation under Fla. Stat. 718.113(9), which is not a material alteration and generally does not require a full membership vote. Many declarations contain their own material-alteration provisions, so confirm with association counsel. This is for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice.

    No. Chapter 718 governs condominiums. It does not apply to HOAs, which fall under Chapter 720, and it does not apply to rental apartment communities at all. For a rental property the owner simply decides, with no statutory process and no board vote.

    Duke Energy Florida. The Duke Energy Florida Commercial Charger Prep Credit is active and covers wiring, panel, and conduit work, and explicitly excludes hardware and permits. Florida Chargers confirms the current program terms with Duke as part of the proposal.

    Roughly one Level 2 port per 20 to 30 units is the usual multifamily starting point, which puts a 180-unit community around 6 to 9 ports. On older electrical service the practical first phase is often smaller than that, sized to the panel, with expansion driven by actual session data rather than a projection.

    Florida Chargers does. The system is networked, so session billing, monitoring, driver support, and on-site maintenance are handled rather than handed to the association's manager. The chargers also list on the Tesla app, which routes nearby drivers to the property.
